While his disease broke down his body, his mind remained strong. He spent most of his life trying to figure out what happens a the edge of black holes. He even wondered what would happen if someone would tumble and fall into one of these black holes. Because of this he advanced our knowledge of this subject by discovering Hawking radiation, the energy emitted by black holes.

Dr. Hawking believes that science should be understood by everyone, so he makes his work understandable to everyone, not only scientists.
